Lovely! I especially enjoy the foreground rocks against the water and the swapping of the dark against light into light against dark as the picture moves left to right.

what a joy to look at..I can never get the paints to glide on as smoothly as yours seem to in the videos..is there a "magic" amount of walnut oil to use? I'm with Reid..a mind meld would be great!  Love how you take a scene and paint it better than life! Hoping to find that "eye" one day!

I was about to comment on how incredible this painting is - then I saw who did it. I guess I can still comment though. Wow. And to make it even cooler, not color cool but amazing cool, you throw in a tad of red. Brilliant, as always. I do have one other thing say though. Can you do a mind meld or something on me so I can paint like that too? Practicing, practicing, practicing doesn't seem to work. Cheers. Now go have that nice cold beer.

I can't stop looking at this painting!  I'm not even able to attempt this one... Wow... I have to find a similar one of my own...

Beautiful! What a challenge.... again....!!!! I have a question... why is it called 'Garrapata'? Is it because it doesn't let you go? In Spanish, 'Garrapata' is a 'Tick'!

Great tones and depth Richard. Subjects like these are a challenge and this painting succeeds in all these areas!
